Activate the enrolled device

If it's a used device, it must be booted after a factory reset. To activate an enrolled device, configure the basic device settings that are initiated during the device boot up. Once this is done, the device will be enrolled in Zoho One through Knox.
NOTE: Activation is required only for the devices which are enrolled in KME portal through automatic enrollment method.

Once devices are enrolled, you can assign the devices to users in Zoho One.
